England

All forms for the Mental Health Tribunal are available on the Gov.uk website. The following links will bring you to the relevant pages on that website for up-to-date versions of the forms. The T129 (legal representation and tribunal doctor form) and T131-144 (all the report proformas) were updated on 3/10/18 to include GDPR information. Restructured T110 (application) and T111 (referral) forms were published on 19/10/18.

Applications

Referral

  • T111. Form T111: Referral to First-tier Tribunal (Mental Health) (v11.22) — Referral form. See s67 for details of when and how to use this form. For use from 7/11/22. This form asks whether the patient would like the hearing by video or face-to-face, or has no preference. The change from the earlier version is that the form also applies to s2 patients.

Case management request

Preliminary matters

  • T128. Form T128: Options for your tribunal referral hearing - community patients (v10.22) — This is the form which is sent to CTO patients inviting them to cancel their tribunal referral oral hearings (and have a paper review instead). This form contains the declaration: "I understand that the First-tier Tribunal (Mental Health) is going to look at my case and, if I do not wish to attend or be represented at a hearing, then the tribunal may reach a decision on my case without a hearing." It asks the questions: (1) Do you wish to attend a tribunal hearing? and (2) Do you wish your legal representative to attend the hearing on your behalf? Version 10.22 changes option A from "to attend the hearing on your own or with a legal representative" to "to attend the hearing on your own or with a legal representative, either face to face or remotely".

Hearing questionnaires

Victims

  • T144. Form T144: Victim representations and Victim Impact Statement (v1, 06.2025) — The form has four sections: (1) Case details; (2) Representation for conditions; (3) Victim Impact Statement; (4) Hearing options; (5) Summary of reasons. Each main section explains the limited power to direct non-disclosure and allows the victim to address the rule 14 criteria (serious harm and interest of justice). The notes explain a VIS can only be used to decide whether to set conditions on a patient’s release and what those conditions should be. If victims attend ("usually over video or phone"): "they will attend remotely and the VLO will be with them. ... they must leave after the statement is read as they are not involved in the case. They cannot add anything to their statement at the hearing."

Appeals

Expenses

Report proformas

Information leaflets

  • Guidance for patients. Tribunal guidance T122: Information for non-restricted patients detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 (27/9/22) — The tribunal secretariat emails this to representatives (requesting that it be sent to the patient) and presumably sends it directly to unrepresented patients. Headings: The tribunal; Members of the tribunal; What the tribunal does; Recommendations the tribunal can make; How to apply to the tribunal; When to apply to the tribunal; When a hearing will take place; After you apply; Legal representation; Where the tribunal will be held; If you change your mind about having a tribunal; The tribunal hearing; Support at the hearing from someone other than a legal representative; The tribunal decision; Appeal against a tribunal decision; Further information.

Other

  • CNL1. Form CNL1: Case Notification Letter (1) and Directions (2015) — The tribunal secretariat uses this form to notify parties that an application or reference has been received. The parties are directed to submit form HQ1 within two weeks, or sometimes two working days longer (e.g. CNL1 Thursday 11/5/23, HQ1 by 4.30pm Thursday 25/5/23). The responsible authority is directed to submit reports within three weeks (e.g. 4.30pm Thursday 1/6/23). The listing window for unrestricted cases (and restricted recall cases) lasts four weeks and begins four weeks after the CNL1 date (e.g. Thursday 8/6/23). The listing window for other restricted cases lasts three weeks and begins 11 weeks after the CNL1 date.

Probably obsolete

Wales

All forms for the Mental Health Review Tribunal for Wales are available on the MHRT for Wales website

  • MHRTW-01. Form MHRTW-01: Application Form (June 2025) — The form now has a section entitled Tribunal Hearing Format with the options being "Videoconference" and "Face to face". The form states: "If you do not state a preference your hearing will automatically default to a videoconference." This is more open than than the English form, which has a third option "I have no preference which type of hearing I have" that always results in a video hearing. The Welsh form also notes that a hearing in accordance with patient's preference cannot always be guaranteed.

New forms and guidance documents were created, and translated into Welsh, in April and May 2017:

  • MHRTW-01: Application to the tribunal
  • MHRTW-02: Nearest Relative Application
  • MHRTW-03: Attendance Form
  • MHRTW-04: Expenses claim - witness
  • MHRTW-05: Permission for Appeal Application Form
  • MHRTW-06: Guidance - Applying to the Tribunal
  • MHRTW-07: Guidance - Referrals
  • MHRTW-08: Guidance - The Tribunal Hearing
  • MHRTW-09: Guidance - Nearest Relative Information
  • MHRTW-10: Guidance - Provision of Reports to the Tribunal
  • MHRTW-11: Guidance - Report Layout and Content
  • MHRTW-12: Guidance - Expenses claim - Witness
  • MHRTW-13: Guidance - The Tribunal’s Powers
  • MHRTW-14: Guidance - Permission for Appeal
  • MHRTW-15: Publications Register
  • MHRTW-16: List of words
  • MHRTW-17: Eligibility Criteria
  • MHRTW-18: Request to Withdraw application
